Painted from memory of typical Essex shoreline of the late 40s where in my youth I lived and did much sailing. Essex in those days was uncrowded with few restrictions except for the wartime ones and was a great adventure ground with miles of quiet deserted creeks to sail in and happily no speed boats or jet skiers.I did this painting in the late 60s.its all household emulsion and black indian ink on a wooden panel,I've borrowed it from my gallery.
Lovely! It reminds me, too, of the sailing I did in the 40s, in Southbourne, in an inlet that led to the river Stour. We had a house overlooking Hengistbury Head from which I could see, from my bedroom window, the cliffs of the Isle of Wight. Do you actually have a gallery, I wonder, or are you referring to a portfolio gallery.
ReplyDeleteIt would seem quiet dinghy sailing is a thing of the past Margaret but I would love to live overlooking the marshes again but only if we could go back in time.
ReplyDeletePortfolio I'm afraid,been a fair few years since I've exhibited.
I am not sure what your PS is referring to?
ReplyDeleteWell, I think that blogging one's portfolio is a wonderful way to
exhibit- we move with the times!
PS The penny has dropped! I get it now!
